Nikolai stood, judging his options, as the man who looked as if he was in a giant hamster ball ran swiftly around him. The clan warrior knew he wouldnt be fast enough to dodge the attack, so the decision was to either attack, and match speed with firepower, or to take the hit, and hope that the other man didnt have a weapon that could penetrate the armour.
While he debated this, he flicked on his enhanced imaging to see that a second man, who seemed to just stand there, was where the first had started from.
Deciding on a course of action, he judged the distance and the speed accordingly, and fired a pair of his short range missiles; one directed at where Kasei was to be in about two seconds, and one at where the man would be in about four seconds.
The missiles streaked off of thier blue-white contrails, looking beautiful as they closed the 50 yards between Nikolai and the hamster-ball-warrior, while Nikolai kneeled down as best he could and ignited his jumpjets, propelling him at near mach speeds towards his target.
His jumpjets were designed to fight gravity to allow the battle suit and its pilot to jump for a decent distance to cover ground more quickly. In Nikolai's predicament, he used the force instead to propell him at near mach speeds toward his target with a small loss in manouverability. They also left behind a two foot wide sheet of one inch thick ice that the hamster-ball might slip on and slide right into the Freeborn, Maddison's, waiting blades.
If all went well, the explosions should bracket Kasei about half a second before the Elemental Warrior would impact.
